Description Joe Buck 2018-04-03 05:54:20 UTC

Created attachment 138511 [details]
pdf with fill-out forms (california tax form)

Opening the attached pdf with evince generates large numbers of messages on the console of the form 
** (evince:10371): WARNING **: Unimplemented action: POPPLER_ACTION_UNKNOWN, please post a bug report in Evince bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) with a testcase.

However, the Gnome people have been closing such bugs as "RESOLVED NOT-GNOME", claiming that this is a poppler bug, not a Gnome bug, and they have been doing this for TEN YEARS!  I know people who won't use Gnome because of the frightening messages spewed by almost every application when run from a terminal, so it would be cool if this could be fixed.  Perhaps the bug report has never gone to the right people.

I'm running a Fedora 27 system.  The poppler version is
poppler-0.57.0-8.fc27.x86_64
and the evince version is
evince-3.26.0-1.fc27.x86_64

To duplicate, just type

evince 17_540.pdf

on a terminal.  This file is the standard tax form for the state of California.
